Let it be said, in no uncertain terms that words make all the difference. A lie told with a smile, and delivered with small easily digested words, can travel farther than the truth laid out in prose.

The notion that one can support "collateral damage" in the form of human deaths, for the cause of fighting terrorism is incompatible [or simply impossible] if one also holds the position that it is not acceptable to use stem cells to try to save human life. This is hypocrisy. This is the position of George W. Bush. George W. Bush is a hypocrite.

Perhaps that is unclear. Perhaps the pancake analogy would be better. George W. Bush is a flip-flopper. Plain and simple. George W. Bush is not resolute any more than Paris Hilton is fat and anonymous. The notion that President Bush is standing firm on the position that "all human life is sacred" is nothing more than a lie.

1. In the heat of the moment, propose to give $100 back to all Americans as a token payment to "reimburse" them for the high "market" prices for gasoline. Rail against the oil companies and say they will pay for the rebate.

2. Then, as the dust settles, back off the language of the rebate that says it would be paid for by the oil companies. But still say that you'd like to give each American that $100.

3. Later, keep promising to do something, but don't actually do it; and if you do, have Americans pay for it out of their taxes.

The GOP is starting to reveal its tactics for November, and dodging responsibility for the government's role in the Katrina response will certainly be a top priority. To that end, Republican Sen. Susan Collins from the Great State of Maine [of Cheers and Jeers fame - HOORAY!] has proposed that FEMA be abolished. Sounds a lot like the way the administration handled another tragic and systemic problem in Iraq: simply close Abu Ghraib and then consider the matter closed. This kind of transparent posturing is tantamount to an admission of guilt; and it's a far cry from a real solution - aside from it being a complete detour from any search for accountability.

Bush-world politics takes another turn toward absurdity... I think they've done a complete 360 by now... or is it 2...

It's official. Fox News' Tony Snow is now the White House Press Secretary. I can't wait to see the splash this makes on The Daily Kos today...

Since Fox News is so fair and balanced, I'm sure this will be yet another new tone set in Washington by our favorite President ever.

Okay, I posted a short little blurb about a CNN article yesterday which had this quote:

"He does his homework. He works weekends. He works nights," Gen. Peter Pace said. "People can question my judgment or his judgment, but they should never question the dedication, the patriotism and the work ethic of Secretary Rumsfeld."

The short thread of responses which followed were so entertaining that I just had to list them all together. In each case, the logic used to critize Rumsfeld was a twisted version of the logic from the General in the CNN quote.

The rest is below the fold -----> Read More

Washington circa 1820. In the spirit of the early 19th Century, Tom Delay's resignation survived only one twenty-four hour news cycle, while Cynthia McKinney's "altercation" with a Capitol Police guard grabbed headlines for three straight days, culminating with her full apology on the House floor and the specter of a grand jury indictment. This is a clear indication that a black woman in Congress who harasses a security guard is a greater danger to the United States of America than an indicted politician who has used his bully pulpit to divide America as deftly as the Mason Dixon Line.
